We have moved the tables and application executable to a new Active Directory server (the launcher checks the server to see if a newer version of the app exe exists and if it does, it copies it to the local machine before issuing the run command). I have verified that the installation package is copying both the launcher and the application exe to their proper directories.

I think the problem is with the spaces in directory name. It should work since you're putting the parameter in quotes, though.
But anyway, if everything else fails, try to use ShortPath. That's how my colleague solved the similar problem (though I was opposing that and suggested using double quotes).
If it's not broken, fix it until it is.
